Where to start. He was a gifted physician for the Thran Empire on Dominaria, who unfortunately saw the body more as a machine to be fixed and tinkered with than a living being with its own rights and beauty. After siding with the losing side in the power struggle of the Thran Empire and found himself exiled by the Elite. He used numerous diseases on different races just to see what would happen and what he could learn. We could stop right here and you would probably get the picture but it gets so much worse.
The chief artificer in Thran had come down with a mysterious illness. The city sent out for Yowgmoth to return, hoping that this would lead to them being able to save him from the affliction. While he did finally figure out what the disease was and what caused it, he only used the serum in the end to leverage power from the government and found himself on the city council and able to make laws over public health.
With this he punished and removed his enemies, saying they had disease and banishing them. This eventually lead to him messing with the serum, almost causing another rebellion, and leading him into control over the Halcyte Guard. He ended up meeting the planeswalker Dyfed and talking Dyfed into adding him in finding another plane to continue his research.
After squishing another rebellion and completely overthrowing the council, Yowgmoth had a permanent portal opened up from Dominaria to Phyrexia the plane that Dyfed helped him find where he bonded himself to the planets core becoming a god and starting his transformation of those around him. He turned them into stronger, faster, and more vicious monsters and between these and the Halcyte Guard, he was able to over come the army of tribes that had finally come for their revenge.
After some time though he was his own undoing. He was found out for the insane man that he was after Dyfed found the horrowshow that Phyrexia had become and while Yowgmoth killed the planeswalker, his plans had not exactly gone to plan. He destroyed Halcyte and ran back to Phyrexia with everyone he could take with him, planning to return when the death cloud had lifted.
This is where things get crazy. He slowly tries to send agents into dominaria and use them to slowly take back power and find a way back there to retake what was his.
But here's the art description for the Ninth Edition version, which seems to settle the question pretty definitively:. It should have two horns and wings, but the rest is up to you. Note that this doesn't mean that Yawgmoth's full name is "Yawgmoth Demon".
With not even WotC seemingly able to get the story straight, the next decade would seem to bring even confusion. Then came Dominaria and that Yawgmoth's Vile Offering card, which features artwork that not only shows an extremely pivotal scene in the Invasion storyline wherein Gerrard has decapitated Urza in the Phyrexian Arena , but also shows an all-powerful and deified Lord of the Wastes in the background.
It turns out that Yawgmoth's Demon really was just a demon of Yawgmoth's creation and that Yawgmoth, by the time of the Phyrexian Invasion of Dominaria, was a monstrous perversion of his original human form during the ancient time of the Thran.
Artwork from the card Yawgmoth's Vile Offering. Published in Articles. To best explain the existence of Phyrexians, we need to venture back ages and ages before any of the primary storyline of Magic: The Gathering even really began. On the plane of existence known as Dominaria, there existed a major empire known as the Thran. These people were remarkably advanced technologically, and things seemed to be going quite well for the Thran Empire until Glacian, their master artificer, fell ill with a disease called phthisis.
This disease was caused by radiation emanating from powerstones, the Thran Empire's main power source. Glacian was unable to be healed by any amount of clerical magicks, and to make matters worse, fell even more ill as they were administered. Enter Yawgmoth. Glacian's primary physician and the "Ineffable" catalyst to begin the millennia-spanning story of Phyrexia, sought a cure for Glacian.
However, he also lusted after Rebbec, Glacian's wife. Yawgmoth, with the help of the Planeswalker Dyfed, stumbled upon many different worlds, and finally found a way to Phyrexia, an unnatural or artificial plane of existence. There is a very good reason that Phyrexia is known as the Nine Hells.
There are nine spheres, each one nested within the one before it. However, it was not nearly as hellish as it was at the end of the story. Yawgmoth marveled at this place and instantly aimed to make a refuge for the Thran Empire to thrive within, as they tried to save themselves from the debilitating plague of phthisis.
